Mustangs shock Harrison County, overcome an 8-0 deficit, combine for 10 runs in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, snap a 9 Games Breds Win Streak, a 15 game home win skein dating back to May 9th, 2025, and avenge an earlier season 10-0 loss to the Breds back on March 19th, at the MAC.  This was the first time that the Breds lost on the Hilltop this season.  The win brings to a close a Brossart 9 game skid.  The last time the Mustangs had defeated the Breds was April 27th 2021, when we defeated them 1-0, also on the Hilltop in Cynthiana, and previous to that on May 28th, 2018 when we eliminated them from the 10th Region Tournament.

In the game Tuesday night in Cynthiana, Harrison County appeared well on their way to repeating the 10-0 win over our Mustangs from back earlier in the season at the MAC when they handed us a run-rule, 10-0 loss.  They scored 3 runs in the first and added 5 more in the third, building an 8-0 lead, only 4 of which were earned, that appeared insurmountable, as the Mustangs were only able to muster two singles in that same time frame.

In the Mustangs fourth inning, a Ben Doyle single, Brady Rowe double, Carter Boruske double, and Owen Record single, produced 3 Mustang runs, narrowing the margin to 8-3.  Owen Record was now on in relief of starter, John Michael Meier, and would work 4 and 1/3 innings allowing the 10th Region Kingpins 1 run on 1 hit (1 BB, I HB).  The Mustang struck again in the fifth when Karter Morgan and Ben Doyle singled, and Isaac Amin hit his fourth home run of the season, making the score 8-6 and had the Breds hearing footsteps.  The momentum continued in the sixth inning when we loaded the bases with two outs when Kasey Moeller walked, Brady Boruske singled, Ben Doyle drew a walk when Isaac Amin hit his fifth home run of the season, Back-to-Back Jack style, propelling the Mustangs to a 10-8 lead 

The Breds answered in the home half of the sixth when Record issued a walk, and Walker doubled – the only hit Owen would allow, making it 10-9 Mustangs with an inning to play.  Our Mustangs went in order in the top of the seventh and needed three outs to upset the 21-2 Breds.  The first hitter flew out to Ben Doyle in centerfield, Record hit the next batter, bringing the winning run to the plate.  The next two batters would also fly-out to Doyle and the Mustangs celebrated beating the Breds for the first time since 2021, handing them their first home field loss of the season, snapping their 9 game win streak, and getting the colossal Gorilla off of our back that had taken residence there since April 11th when we were last victorious. nine losses ago.

On the night, Isaac Amin extended his games hitting streak to 8 in a big way, hitting two home runs and knocking in 7 teammates.  Brady Rowe was 3 for 4 with a double, Ben Doyle went 2 for 3 at the plate, scoring two Mustang runs. Carter Boruske doubled and had an RBI.  The Breds’ Russ Persinger and Jordan Persinger, along with Donovan Walker who also doubled, hit home runs. 

The Mustang return for a 7:30pm, under the lights contest versus winless Newport.  This game will be broadcast live starting at 7:10pm, assuming the softball game ends on time (which we’re also broadcasting).
